Good thing it's not aluminum. You know what happened to Mr Canoehead.



Whether Jane Austenโ€™s books and characters imply criticism of slavery has long been a subject of disagreement among her readers, but new research shows that at least 3 of her 6 brothers were publicly involved in the abolitionist movement.

It's so nice to read something like this for a change instead of "Revered historical figure revealed to have ties to slavery"


What Dr. Francis Collins is describing in this excerpt from his new book isnโ€™t just a problem in public health. Institutions donโ€™t understand how influencers, algorithms, and crowds now shape public opinion, and they donโ€™t understand the incentives that power factionalism. Institutions have dropped the ball โ€” *and* they are also under attack.

Vanceโ€™s lies increase the suffering of everyone.
